I've came to the conclusion....snowfoam doesn't work.

[O.C.D]

I suppose it depends on how good your paint work is protected as in waxed an silky smooth, to be honest ive used sf a few times and thought it was a waste of time and just another one of these "must have" trends that come and go.

I'm sure he's a busy guy, running a business and all.

There's a wealth of info and reviews on his products in this thread: Introducing Anachem

Send him a pm, I know he is very busy at the moment.

He's lucky.

 

[Mr.Mint]

I've always found that the snow foam loosens the dirt more and takes more muck and crap from the car as to just water

Absolutely.

The difference is noticable when using a good snowfoam. There are some excuses for it on the market and they shouldn't be labelled as anything other than money-wasters. Ross and OCD have the 2 best I have ever used and I have admitted this already, @Big Pimp's has the edge. It just clings that little bit better and removes more residue.

I prefer to dilute it a little bit more as I think it clings better.

The foam should be white, clearly it's not!

I will do a full write up on this when I am back. We are going to do a safe winter maintainance guide.

Foam 100% isn't a gimmick. You need to understand the chemistry behind it and it's interaction with LSP's and so on.

You soak a car in TFR you will have your LSP stripped in no time.

I always foam cara dry without a pre rinse. IMO prenrinsing is diluting the foam before it gets a chance to work.

So wash process is as follows

- snowfoam car, leave to dwell
- thorough rinse
- wash wheels with separate bucket and wheel woolies etc and rinse
- light foam of the entire car again (some citrus prewash to stubborn flies etc beforehand if necessary)
- 2 bucket wash method
- thorough rinse
- sprtiz of ultragloss
- blow dry/pat dry with towel/rinse with filtered water

Personally speaking, I agree with a few folk in here in that I am unable to see the difference between snow foam and a good go with the power hose. However I only wash my car 2/3 times a year and I admit that my untrained eye is probably missing something. The first time I used snow foam I was expecting to be blown away with how clean it left the car, but it was no different to the finish a power hose wouldve done on its own. The only difference is that its another stage in making an already horrendous process even longer! That said, I still use it each time because I know its the right thing to do .

Or the "In" thing to do.

I use the guys on the Knock dual carriageway opp the BP station most weeks but if I have to do it myself I use Ross`s snow foam.
I hate washing the car, drying etc too much hassle.

I used them a few weeks back (first time I'd paid for a wash in 3/4 years) and was expecting to pay £20 for the job they did.... then they asked for a fiver! Was actually very decent!

Wrong side? climbed out over the headboard more like.

They give you a wee card that gets stamped after every wash and the last one is free - they do a great job.
